PROGRESS: Programme for Resilient Systems to build absorptive, adaptive and transformative capacity for over 530,000 vulnerable individuals in Kenya and Uganda

To build resilience, PROGRESS will scale approaches, practices and technologies based on six cross-cutting methodologies we have successfully employed across our East Africa resilience portfolio. Developed around empowerment and governance perspectives, the programme focuses on facilitating a process that puts communities, private sector, and governments in a position of responsibility to decide and affect their future vulnerability to shocks and stresses. This approach acknowledges that activities are not just an end but a means to achieving transformational impacts and behaviour change. All the approaches and practices embed this idea of programme as process to take impact to scale. GOAL: enhancing household wellbeing amid increasing climate extremes and disasters OBJECTIVES: - improved food security, nutrition, and livelihood opportunities for men, women, boys, and girls even in the face of droughts and climate variability, across Wajir and Karamoja - improved citizen voice in formal and informal governance which will enhance accountability and appropriate use of public resources, ultimately resulting in government investments that are more responsive to community needs and are more climate-smart
